‘Such a Great Dude’: Will Zalatoris Once Had the Highest Appreciation For PGA Tour Prodigy Tom Kim

American professional golfer Will Zalatoris once wrote a letter of recommendation for his fellow player Tom Kim. And while talking about the same, he shared a beautiful story about his experience with Kim on the field. And it displayed how humble Tom Kim is as a golfer and as a human being.

Will Zalatoris shared a moving story involving Tom Kim

A recent tweet by Twitter user Gabby Herzig shared a story that involved golfers Tom Kim and Will Zalatoris. It was about the time when someone asked Zalatoris about the time when he wrote a recommendation letter for Kim.

While talking about the letter, the player said it was merely for prototype purposes. According to him, Kim was talented enough to not need any sort of recommendations. However, he shared an incident involving Kim and his humble gesture toward the golfer.

“Well, this pretty much sums it up,” he said. “When I went and watched the first day of the Presidents Cup, it was like the fourth hole. I was trying to stay out of everybody’s way, even though I was inside the ropes…Tom came 40 yards off the tee to come over and say hi and check in on me,”

But despite his humble gesture of coming forward and meeting the golfer, Zalatoris was surprised. “I’m like, Dude, you’re playing in the Presidents Cup. You don’t need to say hi to me,” he added. Ending his remarks about the player, Zalatoris added how Kim was an amazing person inside and out.

“So that pretty much sums him up. He’s so good for us. He’s such a great dude,” Zalatoris said. He also added that he wanted to play more tournaments with him at home in the future. Zalatoris has been playing on the field for quite some time now. And he has several records of his own on the PGA Tour.
